The first mp3 (Immigration and the Sabbath) is the same as the Q&A.

Thanks very much. The download links were OK, but all the play buttons were wrong. Fixed now. Thanks again.

Kevin have you considered this?

Ace Man, that's a lot of reading. I must confess I'm not familiar with drop boxes. Just wasted some time right-clicking and downloading unopenable docs. Now I see I have to keep left-clicking to get to a download page. Can you say something that would assure me that reading these docs won't be a further waste of time? Who wrote them? What's their point? Appreciate it. :-)

Ace Man, I'm looking at a file in Appendix 1 called "Anyone ever wondered why Simon Peter was..."

I participated in that discussion. One of my comments is in the document, but Bo's reply to my comment is missing. He was reasonably charitable in his reply. That makes me wonder about the fairness of these documents.

I think I've had one other exchange with Marinov, and I concluded that he was possibly a little insecure and maybe a hot-head. But the same could be said about Calvin and Luther.

In general, the style of our rhetoric today is pretty anemic compared to the Reformers. I'm not justifying the Reformers, just saying.

If I had to pick an assignment of either analyzing Bojidar's personality or analyzing his doctrines, I would definitely prefer the latter. It could well be that his personality would not permit a sustained doctrinal examination, and that would become clear in time.

What specific actions are you recommending, based on these documents?

Mr. Graig,
I am the one who wrote the open letter. If you are going to associate your name with his work, I would advise that you read my open letter and look over the appendices. As for the "missing" dialogue in the FB threads that I screenshot, that is Mr. Marinov's redaction work. There are entire threads missing on his FB that I have in my appendices. That aside, his behavior and treatment of professing belivers in the public sphere is no small issue. This undermines any of his theological positions and any public policy claims. His Pator has already been notified and has taken action against him. My denomination's Presbytery is taking up this matter in the next meeting this coming spring. Read my open letter, test it to see if these things be so and make an informed decision.

I "like" quite a few pages on Facebook and quote from many authors in this blog with whom I do not agree 100%.

Yes, but the comment I made are present on his FB page but not in your appendix/letter.

I agree.

I agree.

If you want to make any charges against Marinov stick, I recommend a complete separation of his behavior and his public policy views. Let's assume I agree with you about how he treats other believers. I don't disagree with Federal Vision. I don't disagree with Locke and don't always agree with Dabney. I might be even more fanatic than Marinov in his critique of government authority. I can agree with all of Marinov's public policy positions and not agree with his rudeness. If you want to zero in on his rudeness, don't go to trial over his policy views. It will only muddle things. Leave them all out and focus on his behavior. Otherwise, I predict you won't get enough votes to take action against either his behavior or his doctrine.

That's my two cents' worth.
